The hotel does not run its own spa, but has a... - Review of Shangri-La Hotel Kuala Lumpur

Our family of 3 stayed at the Shangri-La Kuala Lumpur for 3 nights and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. As soon as we stepped in the lobby, we were greeted by the fragrance of lilies. Having spent so many hours on the airplane, it was nice - we thought it must be air freshener or they just finished cleaning. We finished check in, turned around and saw this MASSIVE stunning lily floral arrangement, the lilies were real and so was the fragrance. We knew we were at the right place!

What we loved:Big comfy bedsGreat room serviceTranquil lighting, spacious storage, mini bar area with kettle built-inBuffet Breakfast (the selection of food offered was FANTASTIC, treats from Chinese noodles to halva to sushi to croissants and pastries). During our short stay it was not possible for us to visit night markets for special local food, so it was really a treat to sample many local specialties at breakfast, from otak otak to nyonya kuih)The Garden area with fish and topiary mazeLocation of the hotel was close to KLCC and other malls

What we thought was ok:The swimming pool area was smaller than expected and not too children friendly.The hotel does not run its own spa, but has a little spa boutique. Nothing wrong with that, it just feels that the Shangri-La experience could have extended to pampering sessions. (Comparing this hotel with the stunning spa at Shagri-La Taipei). They also offer in room massage, but none offers massage sessions to pregnant travelers...

We stayed here for two nights on a stop over on our way home from Cambodia. I can not recommend it highly enough. The staff were friendly, helpful and attentive. The breakfast buffet has to be seen to believed! A magnificent feast that provides something for everyone's tastes at a very reasonable price. We also enjoyed an evening meal here. The central location was fantastic - easy walking distance to the towers and good access to public transport. Very comfortable beds, lovely bathroom - just wish we had stayed longer! maybe next time.

Returning to KL some 12+ years since our last visit - there could only be one hotel to stay at - the Shangri-la. We were not dissappointed - in many ways things had not changed. This time for one night before our onward flight to HK & home. In particular something I have commented on before is that the hotel recognises that guests often want to read in bed & as such provides good lighting for the same.

The sauna, steamroom, Jacuzzi & hydropool were appreciated and finally we had a great meal at the Shang Palace to finish our holiday

My wife and I spent one night here on our way back from Australia and we can safely say this is the best hotel we've stayed in - ever. Everything from the spacious and luxurious room to the service, to the gigantic breakfast buffet spread to the location was just perfect. Complimentary shuttle service around the city was the icing on the cake. And all of this was available at a steal! Highly recommended.

We stayed in the Shangri La in Bangkok a few years back, and loved it. We booked the Shangri La in Kuala Lumpur based on that wonderful experience. The KL Shangri La was even better. The best hotel experience we have ever had. The hotel has recently had a complete make over, and it positively sparkles. just the right amount of bling and water features. We had a top floor suite, which was gorgeous! And an excellent value... And the best thing about the Shangi La is the service. Everyone was elegant, warm and charming. We felt like we were being welcomed by old friends every time we came and went. The location is near some great night life, and moments from the monorail. We explored the city really well from this location. I can't recommend it enough. 10 out of 10.

Room Tip: Pay a little extra for The Horizon Club. You well get the best breakfast in South East Asia and cock...

Ask NandFTravels about Shangri-La Hotel Kuala Lumpur

This review is the subjective opinion of a TripAdvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.

I have counted and this is our 8th holiday of a lifetime; this time to KL and Langakawi. I spent several weeks debating over the hotel choice in KL. As this is a special trip we were prepared to spend a little more on the hotels. After much deliberation and reading of trip Advisor we opted for the Shangri La and the Horizon club/ room package staying for 4 nights. As some previous reviewers have stated, KL is expensive for drink and the happy hour package makes this an extremely competitive option.

However, it is far more than that; the level of service we encounter in the hotel was absolutely first rate, and we have been fortunate enough to have stay in some very luxurious places. The hotel it self is what I would call a good quality business hotel, what it lacks in some of the opulence that you find in some far eastern hotels, it makes up for in the quality of its staff and the delicious Buffet's and breakfast. Indeed, the breakfast in the Horizon Lounge was one of the best we have encountered.

The room itself was comfortable, very well maintained with extremely good amenities, even down to scissors when I needed some. Nice crisp bedlinen and the toiletries - L'Occitane. With Good bath and shower facilities.

The pool area, a delight and if you sit in the right location you can see both the KL tower and the Petronas Twin Towers. With regular water top ups and attentive pool staff.

We also tried the spa, but in retrospect I would not be happy recommending it. I do not think the quality of treatments, ambiance and facilities are of a high enough standard to warrant the prices charged. This could be far better.

The only slight negative ; the signage at the top of the hotel has lost the light in its G. As a marketing tool, not befitting a hotel on this calibre.

All in all, the hotel warrants its No 1 status on trip advisor.
